MY HEART WAS A TREE: POEMS AND STORIES/ CELEBRATE TREES (PB)

An illustrated collection of poetry and stories by Michael Morpurgo, inspired by the woods around the author’s home, the forests that support life on Earth, and the Ted Hughes poem which gives the book its title. Here you will find an ancient olive remembering Odysseus and Penelope, a eucalyptus that gave shelter to a koala, a piece of driftwood that was made into a chair, and a tiny sapling carried by a refugee as a reminder of home. Illustrated throughout by Yuval Zommer, creator of ‘The Big Book Of’ series.
